Commonly referred to as 'Pink Quill'. Native to Ecuador, but ubiquitous in collections across the globe. One of the finest natural species to be discovered, it has been in cultivation well over one hundred years, and many selected clones have been developed. The plant is sub-mesic, thriving potted in moist, open-shaded conditions.
Bright light turns the paddle-shaped inflorescence a deep and vivid pink. The large, deep purple flowers are highly fragrant with the scent of cloves or cinnamon. Red-striated green leaves. A must for all collections. Grow in bright shade and keep moist.
(formerly Tillandsia)

Louis Z. First purchase of this type of plant and it is in a bedroom under a grow light and misted 2-3 times a day and seems happy. Waiting for it to bloom

William F. Perfect condition, bloom about halfway open, so I will get to enjoy the maximum show. Only $10 at the retail store. I don't have much luck with getting them to rebook, but I have 2 or 3 that are still otherwise doing great after probably 3-4 years, and they make lovely foliage in any case.

A cliff dwelling species from the high badlands of Honduras grows in a somewhat caulescent rosette with wide silvery leaves that blush pinkish when in bloom. The inflorescence is capitate on a short scape of peach colored bracts and lavender flowers. The range of this rarity from central Honduras is restricted to a few isolated limestone cliffs. The natural population has been decimated by forest fires but fortunately it is easily propagated and now grown in fairly large numbers.

Somewhat resembles a Tillandsia brachycaulos in size and shape but less leafy. Leaves are somewhat stiff, shiny, and gray/green. The entire plant flushes pink or peach when in bloom, with a short scape. An epiphyte on shrubby trees in the scorching valleys of central Honduras. Definitely something different. Easy to grow.

Melanie W. It was great working with the ladies at Tropiflora. I needed to order some tillandsias for a garden club meeting. Not only did Tropiflora help me get the best plants for my presentation but also held onto them until it was time for the meeting, insuring that the plants stayed healthy. I so appreciated all their help and highly recommend this business.

One of the most spectacular of Tillandsias, with succulent silvery leaves and a massive inflorescence consisting of a red rachis with long silvery white branches. A Honduran endemic, restricted to the river canyons of the northwest, near the Guatemalan border, where it grows high up on vertical limestone cliffs. A large grower, it thrives potted or mounted and can reach well over 30 inches tall. An outstanding plant worthy of space in any collection.
A slow growing, large, showy species that’s never in good supply.

Daniel W. T. copanensis: a large and healthy offset at a reasonable price - excellent plant. Shipped very fast and carefully packed with a heat pack and thermal insulation material for safe transport to the northeast in winter - arrived in perfect condition.
Tropiflora: purchased my first bromeliads from Dennis and Linda in the late 1980s “pre internet”. Even as their business has grown so large over the decades, some key elements have never changed - 1. they are a family business with the next generation now very involved in the day to day operations, and their extended family of employees have worked there for years - that says something about the way the owners treat their employees. Customers experience that same level of care and are treated as family. 2. When you order online you get professional service and prompt order fulfillment. Questions on the phone are warmly received and you can expect knowledgeable answers. Visit in person - you’ll see the dedicated care given to the plants by their workers. And Brian the head grower can find anything you might be looking for and give you expert advice on growing it. A professional experience and treated as family - Best of the Best.
